I've had this idea for a long time and finally got to try it out! This piece is six panels of acrylic sheets that I layered my painting on.
I love diaromas and gemstones that feels like tiny worlds. It was REALLY hard to get a photo of it with all the reflections.
I still need to make the frame!

I'm about to head out to visit my Husband's family for a couple days and I'm setting up a travel project. So I thought I'd go through some of my previous pieces to spark inspiration and I wanted to share them with all of you!
All projects are designed and stitched by me.

These larger pieces can take me years to finish. It feels good to see progress, though the project is daunting I feel accomplished when they are done.
I have finished three large pieces and it surprises me still.

Making progress. This part of the project is great, I can really see it developing and every skien of thread brings more definition.

Newest work in progress shot. It takes me forever, and I'm not great at updating. But here it is.

These larger pieces can be so intimidating. Even though I have designed and finished other large pieces it's always a surprise each time I finish them 😅

Sometimes a project grabs me and won't let go until it's run it's course. I finished the stitching on these two butterflies now I need to back and bead them!
A group of crows is a murder, flamingos is a flamboyance, what is a group of butterflies?

Finished it! Embroidered, beaded, gorgeous.
I kinda want to make another one, this always happens to me when I start a big project 😅
I'm just glad I can turn my anxiety into something so pretty.

Oops. Well I guess this was my next project 😅
I was feeling anxious and heading out to a DnD game so I made a tiny project, took me three days to finish stitching. It isn't actually done yet, but the embroidery part is.

Starting my newest project, it will be my largest piece and the first time I'll have used this kind of frame. I hand drew the design.
